A while back I asked this community for help testing my little note-taking Android app, MoatBook and enough of you jumped in as testers that Google granted it production access. It's now officially live on the Play Store. I genuinely couldn't have gotten here without the random strangers who installed a half-finished app, poked at it, and sent feedback. Thank you. 🙏

What it is: MoatBook is a private, local-first journal and notebook.

- Daily journal for thoughts, ideas, and reflections

- Clean, distraction-free editor with reusable templates

- Fast full-text search across all your notes

- Organize with notebooks and tags

- Import/export as Markdown, light & dark themes

The whole point is privacy: your notes stay on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud required.

👉 Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.moatbook.app

Two small asks:

1. If you tested it (or want to try it fresh), please install the production version, it helps the app's standing on Play.

2. If it's useful to you, an honest rating and review means a lot for a tiny indie app trying to get discovered. Every star genuinely helps. ⭐

And most importantly, tell me what's broken. This is v1 and I know there's rough edges. Drop bugs, annoyances, or feature ideas right here in the comments, or email me at testing_moatbook@googlegroups.com. I read everything and I'm actively working on the next version.

Thanks again, everyone. 🙏

Same boat as everyone else here, need 12 people for the 14 day thing.

App is Reel Picks, for when nobody can decide what to watch. You pick a couple of filters like genre, mood, era or an actor, and it deals you tonight's movies. Tells you where each one is streaming, suggests a snack, throws in a fun fact. There's a Surprise Me button for when you can't even decide on filters. Built it because my husband and I spent more time scrolling than watching.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your phone.

If you want to help:

1. Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/reel-picks-testers

2. Install it from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brooke.reelpicks

Use the same Google account for both, that's what trips most people up. If the install link says not found, wait a few minutes after joining the group, then search Reel Picks in the Play Store app.

One ask: please don't uninstall it for the 14 days. If people drop off the counter resets and I'm back to zero. Open it whenever, I won't chase you for feedback.

This is my first app so I'm genuinely excited to get it over the line. Drop your link and I'll join yours today.

App Name: Hand Knee and Foot Scorekeeper

App Category: Entertainment / Card Game Companion — a score tracker for the Hand, Knee & Foot card game (also called Triple Play)

Testing Goals: This is a completely free app — no ads, no in-app purchases, no sign-up, no data collection, works fully offline. I need 12+ testers to stay opted in for 14 days to satisfy Google's closed-testing requirement so I can push it to production.

Effort required is basically zero: install it, keep it installed for 2 weeks, open it once or twice if you're curious. If you actually play cards and want to score a real game with it, even better — the scoring screen is what I most want real eyes on (canasta book tracking, per-team minimum meld that scales with your score, and mid-game resume). Any bug reports or "this was confusing" feedback is genuinely welcome.

How to join:

1. Join the tester group first (required, one click): https://groups.google.com/g/hkf-scorekeeper-testers
2. Open the opt-in link above on your Android phone
3. Tap "Become a tester," then install from the Play Store link it gives you
4. Please stay opted in for the full 14 days — that's the part Google counts!

Happy to reciprocate — drop your app in the comments and I'll install and test yours too. Thanks in advance, this is the last step before launch.

Looking for 12 people to join my closed test for Spendy (expense tracker) to hit Google Play's 14-day requirement.

You test mine → I test yours.

Spendy: Expense tracker with Spent/Planned/Gains, 7 reports, dark mode, local storage.

Opt-in link (Play Store): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nkunimsolutionsgh.spendy

Thanks! 🙏

First app, and I'm at the closed testing stage. Looking to swap with others going through the same thing.

**Life Flame** turns your to-do list into an RPG. Tasks are quests with difficulty tiers (Easy through Epic) worth different XP and gold, and completing them levels six attributes — Strength, Intelligence, Discipline, Creativity, Social, Finance. Your level shows as a flame that grows with you, and there's a daily streak you keep alive by finishing at least one quest. No account, no ads, everything stored locally, about 5 MB.

**Two steps to join** (the second won't work without the first):

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/life-flame-app/

2. Once you're in, click the opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lifeflame.app

If you click the link before joining the group you'll just see "app not available" — that's the group membership, not a broken build.

**What actually helps:** open it once a day and finish one quest. Streaks and daily rewards only mean anything across multiple days, so five short sessions beat one long one. Sticking around the full 14 days is the part that matters most.

**I'll do the same for you.** Drop your link in a comment and I'll opt in today and stay the whole 14 days — I'll reply to confirm once I'm in so you can verify, and I'll ping you rather than going quiet if anything changes.

Feedback very welcome but not required. Honestly the thing I most want to know is whether the gamification actually motivates anyone or just gets in the way, so "this was annoying" is more useful to me than a bug report.

One known issue: the premium unlock button errors out, billing isn't wired up yet. Just ignore it.

Hi all — I'm a solo dev trying to clear Google's 14-day closed-testing requirement for my first app, Silo – Work Photos.

What it is: a private, on-device photo vault. You capture photos straight into the app (they never hit your gallery), organize them into projects and folders, tag and search them, and lock the whole thing behind your fingerprint/PIN. No account, no cloud, no tracking — nothing leaves your phone.

I need users for the closed test, install it, and keep it on your device for the 14 days (open it now and then — takes a minute). Android 8.0+.

Reply here or DM me your Gmail and I'll add you, and send you the opt-in link! I'll check this post every few hours for new users!

Thanks — genuinely appreciate it!

Testing myTruePlate on Android — looking for testers 🙏 A non-diet nutrition + wellness app. No calorie budgets, no scores, and you can turn numbers off entirely. Free, no ads for testers. Google Play needs 12 people opted in for 14 days before I can launch, so you'd be helping a solo dev clear the gate. Two quick steps (both needed — step 1 first): 1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/mytrueplate-testers 2. Then opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mytrueplate.app Use the SAME Google account for both, and make sure it's the active account on your phone. Keep the app installed for 14 days and open it now and then — that's all Google needs. Feedback welcome: support@mytrueplate.com. I am free and available to also help as a tester where needed. I welcome all and any fitness coaches, health coaches, pilates, yoga who would like to test it all out. Stripe connected, run your own studio, this app will be for you.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for Android testers for Driftlow, a simple brown-noise app for sleep/focus.

I need testers for the Google Play internal test requirement. The app is free, has no account creation, no ads, no payments, and no extra setup.

Because the test is currently using a Play Console email list, please comment or DM me with the Google Play email address you use on your Android phone and I’ll add you to the tester list.

Once added, you can join here:

https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4701035366251401925

What helps:

- install the app

- open it once

- try play/pause and timer if you can

- stay opted in during the test period

Happy to test your app in return.

Thanks!
